If we can't face our losses, we can't be present either fully to everything that is. When people have cut off or not made peace with some part of themselves, they miss out on other aspects of life.

When life doesn't make sense, we can still have peace.

Nothing is more precious than peace, by which all war, both in Heaven and Earth, is brought to an end.

We have to remember that no matter how much hardship we go through in our life, there is always going to be that fragile place in our heart.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances.

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.

When we take our eyes off the whirl of day-to-day activity and concentrate on honoring Him and following in His way, we find a consistent peace that carries us through both plenty and poverty.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
